‘It’s About Attitude’

President Trump’s much discussed meeting with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean leader, is coming up on Tuesday. But on Thursday, he told reporters that he doesn’t plan on doing much to get ready.

“I don’t think I have to prepare very much,” Trump said. “It’s about attitude. It’s about willingness to get things done.”

On “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert said that didn’t sound promising.

“Quick reminder: The fallout from this meeting could be actual fallout.” — STEPHEN COLBERT

James Corden was equally unimpressed by Trump’s approach.

“Good to see President Trump prepare for this pivotal summit with the same energy we all used for that job interview at Domino’s back in high school.” — JAMES CORDEN

Corden mentioned a reportedly awkward phone call Trump recently had with the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau. Maybe Trump ought to take it as incentive to prepare more thoroughly this time around, Corden suggested.

“During a tense phone call with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, President Trump tried to make a joke, saying, ‘Didn’t you guys burn down the White House?’ In fact, what Trump was referring to was the War of 1812, when the White House was burned down by Britain, not Canada. See, no preparation needed! It’s all attitude. This is quite the accomplishment, because Trump isn’t just the worst president in history, he’s the worst president at history.” — JAMES CORDEN

Colbert did manage to find one thing Trump and Kim seem to have in common.

“We are just days away from Donald Trump’s summit with Kim Jong-un. Truly historic — the stakes are almost as high as Trump’s and Kim’s cholesterol. They’re calling this one ‘The Lipitor in Singapore.’” — STEPHEN COLBERT

The Punchiest Punchlines (U.P.S. Edition)

“Trump also bragged about his cabinet, saying, ‘I understand a big story is being done in a … newspaper talking about what a great cabinet this is.’ But he didn’t specify the outlet. Actually, our crack research team found the publication praising the cabinet. It’s the Ikea catalog.” — STEPHEN COLBERT, quoting from a Washington Post report

The Bits Worth Watching

Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, recently said that he speaks with Trump often via phone. Conan O’Brien imagined what those calls sound like.

Here’s a side of Trump and Vice President Mike Pence’s relationship that the public doesn’t see.
